Album Notes

Prometheus Blues brings together some stellar musicians from New Orleans (Marcus), London (Ingram), New York (Eckberg),
Chicago (Artwick), and Cuba (Espinosa); this worldly influence is revealed in this eclectic mix of driving jazz, haunting melodies, afro-cuban and american jazz rhythms, New Orleans jazz and blues grooves, and refreshing original songs that have a sound all their own. JAZZ TIMES magazine has called the Lenny Marcus Trio's jazz style "infectious" (David Zilch, 2006). The title track, Prometheus Blues, sounds like a jazz classic! LMT and guests expertly interweave bluesy jazz instrumentals with clever vocals and contemporary modal songs, creating an album that you just can't stop listening to. From the meditative "Something Beautiful," and "New Day, New Dreams," to the bebop "Zeus's Fire," to an almost jazz reggae feel of "The Extra Mile" and the humorous vocals of "My Brain has a Mind of its Own," this CD will have you listening over and over again. Just as Prometheus brought fire from Zeus to mankind, the Lenny Marcus group brings this fiery mix of jazz and blues and fresh original jazz music to all.
